If you can make it to Bath tomorrow night (Friday 10 May) then you could see Raymond E Feist at SFX 's local bookstore, Topping & Company. Feist (born Raymond Elias Gonzales III, 1945) is a popular Fantasy author, best known for a single series. And I'm actually struggling to get certain rights, because I just wrote the scene where the King Of Sandura breaks out with, ‘I Get A Kick Out Of You!’” Although as we're talking about George RR Martin, I will say that you’ll get an idea of what Five Crowns is about if I tell you it's a little bit like Game Of Thrones with show tunes.

Right now I'm at work on The King Of Ashes, which is the first volume of a new series The War Of Five Crowns that’s about a completely different world with different rules of magic, different politics, and very different characters. “I'll never say never, as the old saying goes. Book Two of the Firemane Saga by Raymond E. Seeing as it is such a vast multi-dimensional universe, is this really the last we will see of the Riftwar worlds? Let’s say I have lulled the characters into a false sense of security, then things get nasty very quickly. There's nothing wrong with comic book characters in comic books, but I don't write comic books.” The journey of Pug and Tomas concludes with a host of characters making an.

Have you always enjoyed the best of both genres or like George RR Martin – whose ’70s short stories and early novels such as Windhaven are essentially fantasy that is barely disguised as sci-fi – or was it not so easy for you to write pure fantasy when you first embarked upon The Magician in the early ’80s? The Riftwars were part of that world's lore, and I chose to write about them.”Īs The Riftwar Cycle is essentially about human magicians and other beings battling it out on two different planets, it could be said that it combines elements of both science fiction and fantasy. It was the gaming world created by friends of mine and myself in college and I just appropriated it for the stories. That’s a benefit of starting off with a somewhat objective world, the product of other people’s efforts more than my own. I read a ton of David Eddings, Raymond Feist, Dave Duncan, and Forgotten. The universe in which Midkemia is contained is organic, from my point of view, and I’ve seen how it is pretty much from the beginning. There were all of these other interesting characters that would be fun to. “The tone of the series has changed for two reasons, first the topics grow darker and secondly, I’ve evolved as a writer, for the better I hope.
